Thecasing assembly 131 includes aninner casing 132 and anouter casing 135 covering outside theinner casing 132 and spaced a distance apart from theinner casing 132, theinner casing 132 and theouter casing 135 respectively include aninner surface 133 and an outer surface136 opposite to each other. Theinner surface 133 includes at least oneinner hole 134, the outer surface136 includes at least oneouter hole 137, and theinner hole 134 and theouter hole 137 are connected through with each other. More specifically, in the present embodiment, theinner casing 132 includes a plurality ofinner holes 134, theouter casing 135 includes a plurality ofouter holes 137, and theinner holes 134 are connected through with theouter holes 137. - It can be known from the theory of fluid mechanics and mass conservation, in which the aperture area is inversely proportional to the fluid flow rate and the sums of power, potential energy and kinetic energy of the fluid pressures at different locations are equal, under the condition that the potential energy does not change, the pressure at the smaller aperture area is lesser. Therefore, in the present embodiment, an area of the
inner holes 134 is greater than an area of theouter holes 137; when the user wears on the head mountedelectronic device 100 of the present embodiment, the user may cause a space surrounded by theelectronic body 110, theextension part 120 and the human face to have higher moisture due to sweating or rising in body temperature, and under this condition, the moisture can automatically flow from theinner holes 134 of theinner casing 132 towards theouter holes 137 of theouter casing 135 and then leave the head mountedelectronic device 100, so as to lower the humidity in the space surround by theelectronic body 110, theextension part 120 and the human face. It can be known from the experience that, a head mounted electronic device of the conventional technology, which does not configure a plurality of inner holes and a plurality of outer holes connected through with each other in the casing assembly, will reach a humidity of up to 98% under a long-term wearing; whereas, the head mountedelectronic device 100 of the present embodiment will only reach a humidity of up to 78% under the long-term wearing. Therefore, the head mounted electronic device 100 o the present embodiment can effectively enables the humidity of the space covering on the human face to be maintained under a certain percentage, thereby providing the user with a more comfortable state of use. Certainly, in other embodiments, the area of theinner holes 134 may also be smaller than or equal to the areaouter holes 137, and this may also enable the moisture to flow from theinner holes 134 of theinner casing 132 towards theouter holes 137 of theouter casing 135 and to leave the head mountedelectronic device 100, and thereby achieve the effect of lowering the humidity in the space surrounded by theelectronic body 110, theextension part 120 and the human face. - In the present embodiment, the number of the
inner holes 134 corresponds to the number of theouter holes 137, but in other embodiments, the number of theinner hole 134 may also not correspond to the number of theouter holes 137 such that the moisture passing through theinner hole 134 will move towards the nearbyouter holes 137. - It is worth mentioning that, since the
electronic body 110 of the head mountedelectronic device 100 of the present embodiment can display image, in order to provide the user with better experience, light leakage must also be paid attention to during the course of use so as to avoid an influence on the image quality. Therefore, in order to reduce the outside light from directly entering into the head mounted electronic device due to thecasing assembly 131 being configured with theinner holes 134 and theouter holes 137, in the present embodiment, positions of theinner holes 134 and theouter holes 137 are misaligned. That is, projection regions of theinner holes 134 on theouter casing 135 do not overlap with the positions of theouter holes 137. - In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 4 , the head mountedelectronic device 100 further includes a light absorbingcoating layer 150 coated on thecasing assembly 131. More specifically, the light absorbingcoating layer 150 is coated on an outer surface and theinner surface 133 of theinner casing 132 and theouter surface 136 and an inner surface of theouter casing 135. The light absorbingcoating layer 150 may be a black paint or a dark color paint so as to lower a reflectance of the light. In addition, a surface texture of the light absorbingcoating layer 150 may be rough so as to enable the light to travel in a diffusive manner even if being reflected, thereby lowering a chance for the light to enter into theinner casing 132. -
FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional diagram illustrating a cushion of the extension part ofFIG. 2 along a section-line B-B. Referring toFIG. 2 ,FIG. 3 andFIG. 5 , in the present embodiment, in addition to thecasing assembly 131 of the supportingportion 130 including theinner holes 134 and theouter holes 137, thecushion 140 also includes at least one cushioninner hole 142 and at least one cushionouter hole 144 at two opposite sides, as shown inFIG. 5 , and the cushioninner hole 142 and the cushionouter hole 144 are connected through and misaligned with each other. In the present embodiment, an area of the cushioninner hole 142 is greater than an area of the cushionouter hole 144. Similarly, the head mountedelectronic device 100 of the present embodiment, by configuring the cushioninner hole 142 and the cushionouter hole 144, which are connected through with each other and having different areas, on thecushion 140, enables the moisture to automatically flow from the cushioninner hole 142, through thecushion 140 and towards the cushionouter hole 144 so as to leave the head mountedelectronic device 100, and thus effectively prevent the humidity of the space between the head mountedelectronic device 100 and the human face covered thereby from continuing to rise. - Certainly, in other embodiments, the area of the cushion
inner hole 142 may also be smaller than or equal to the area of the cushionouter hole 144, and this configuration may also achieve the effect of enabling the moisture to flow from the cushioninner hole 142, pass through thecushion 140 and towards the cushionouter hole 144 so as to leave the head mountedelectronic device 100. In addition, the color of thecushion 140 is black or dark color so as to lower the reflectance of light. The surface texture of thecushion 140 can be rough so that light can travel in a manner of diffusion even if being reflected, thereby lowering the chance for the light to pass through thecushion 140. It is note worthily that, in other embodiments, the electronic body or the supporting portion of the head mounted electronic device may also do not have the inner hole and the outer hole, and only use the cushioninner hole 142 and the cushionouter hole 144 of thecushion 140 to achieve the effect of discharging moisture. - It is to be noted that, the numbers, the shapes and the locations of the
inner hole 134, theouter hole 137, the cushioninner hole 142 and the cushionouter hole 144 are not to be limited by the drawings; the user may adjust the numbers, the shapes and the locations of theinner hole 134, theouter hole 137, the cushioninner hole 142 and the cushionouter hole 144 according to the needs and an actual shape of the casing body. - In addition, the
cushion 140 can be assembled onto the supportingportion 130 by means of using Velcro or fastener. Thus, the user can detach thecushion 140 to perform cleaning. - It is worth mentioning that, although in the present embodiment, the
casing assembly 131 is constituted by theinner casing 132 and theouter casing 135 which are separated, but in other embodiments, the casing assembly may also have one single casing body, wherein the inner surface and the outer surface of the casing assembly are respectively the two opposite surfaces of the casing body. The inner surface and the outer surface of the casing body respectively have the inner holes and the outer holes that are misaligned, and the area of the inner holes is greater than the area of the outer hole. The form of the casing assembly is not limited to only the ones described in the above. - Moreover, in other embodiments, the
electronic body 110 of the head mountedelectronic device 100 may also include theaforesaid casing assembly 131 which has theinner holes 134 and theouter holes 137, that is, the head mountedelectronic device 100, in addition to theextension part 120, may further haveinner holes 134 and theouter holes 137, which are connected through and misaligned with each other, on theelectronic body 110, so as to provide more pathways for discharging the moisture. - In summary, the head mounted electronic device, with the design of disposing the inner holes and the outer holes respectively on the inner surface and the outer surface of the casing assembly and connecting through the inner holes with the outer holes, enables the moisture to flow from the inner hole, towards the outer hole and to be discharged from the head mounted electronic device when the user wears the head mounted electronic device. Therefore, the user is less likely to feel hot and stuffy. In addition, since the inner holes and the outer holes are misaligned, the light is less prone to be directly irradiated into the inner holes from the outer holes, and thus the head mounted electronic device has a lower degree of light leakage. Moreover, the head mounted electronic device cushion of the application has the cushion inner hole and the cushion outer hole, and the design of connecting through the cushion inner hole with the cushion outer hole enables the moisture to flow from the cushion inner hole, towards the cushion outer hole and to be discharged. Therefore, the user is less likely to feel hot and stuffy. Furthermore, since the cushion inner hole and the cushion outer hole are misaligned, light is less prone to be directly irradiated into the cushion inner hole from the cushion outer hole, thereby resulting in a lower degree of light leakage.
